*that you know of and were taught. Jews had numerous infiltrators in the Roman court and conspired with a cruel and vicious relentlessness following the revelation of Christ and the spread of Christianity - fomenting anti-Christian attitudes targeting the ruling class. Nero being of course their primary target at the time. Ah yes, "evidence", conveniently ignoring the absolute mountains of evidence piling up for millenia. Just like the most recent Epstein files which don't exist, and you won't talk about, right?

Gaul was never destroyed. Gaul was conquered and integrated and subsumed into Roman society. Gallic cavalry were heavily utilized in the Roman army. Judea on the other hand was eradicated. Jewish troops were never integrated into the Roman military as that would have been truly unwise. They were justly eliminated as a factor, and then Rome was allowed to flourish. Emperor Hadrian was truly a sage emperor and a titan of a man.

Speaking of Carthage -literally the same peoples, practicing the same malevolent Satanism, not sure what your point is there. After Carthage's destruction they were cornered back to their home in Palestine, which they called "Judea".

I’ll talk about the Epstein files if you’d like. We are talking about Nero right now though, so if you have some evidence for your wild claims that he was brainwashed by jews, provide it.

The Roman army DID utilize Jewish soldiers lol for literally hundreds of years Jews served along side Romans. If you won’t read a book you could at least google this sort of nonsense before you post it.

Carthaginians were not Jews… and their religious practices were in no way similar to Judaism, it was much closer to the Roman religion. Rome recognized the existence of the Carthaginian gods, but not of Abraham’s God.

It’s crazy how you can say so many things and be wrong about every single one. Almost impressive honestly

There is no credible historical evidence of a Jewish conspiracy inside the Roman court targeting Nero or Christianity. Roman historians like Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio say the opposite: Jews were a marginal, often distrusted minority with no access to imperial power.

Christian persecution under Nero followed the Great Fire of Rome, not some secret Jewish plot. That is basic Roman history.

Judea was not “eradicated”. Jews continued to live there, in the empire, and across the Mediterranean for centuries. Hadrian did not act as a “sage”, he crushed a revolt with extreme brutality, renamed the province to Palestina, and banned Jewish practices. That is repression, not wisdom.

The Carthage comparison is historically false. Carthaginians were Phoenicians, not Jews, and claims of “Satanism” are Roman propaganda, not evidence.

When every problem across millennia somehow traces back to one tiny minority, that is not analysis. That is conspiracy thinking.

Should be noted that Hadrian also cut off a Roman noblewoman's head for the crime of converting to Christianity lol. She's now a catholic saint as a result of this.

Hadrian was slightly kinder to Christians than his predecessor Trajan, and much kinder than many other emperors, but he still encouraged the punishment(to death) of Christians proven to be shirking Roman customs. The most common crime Christians were put to death for during the time of Hadrian was for failing to sacrifice to the deified emperors, a practice obviously inconsistent with Christianity. Christians who did not do this were executed with Hadrian's blessing.

But Carthaginians were definitely "satanic" in that they sacrificed children. Many modern historians claimed this was Roman propaganda, but jars full of the remains of children have since been found in an excavated Carthaginian temple. Of course, they did not believe in satan so they were not technically satanic. Just bad dudes.

unusually Iran has published the names of 3117 people killed in the recent Joint US-Israel Economy attack on the country. The figure is widely challenged with independent groups suggesting 6000+ and pro-Israeli/pro-American groups quoting 40,000+. The US continues to call for regime change and prominent observers highlight that a military attack from the US appears imminent.

to put that into layman's terms - a foreign power attacked your country, created terror in your country, then after alot of people died, the international community said it was terrible and that they would respond by...bombing your country and sanctioning your country even more. the mental gymnastic's here are something else. nevermind the people bombing your country declaring "we are doing this for you".

You are starting the timeline in the middle of the story. The context you removed matters.

This is not just “a foreign country bombed another country for no reason”. Iran has spent years building a network of armed proxies around Israel, openly calling for Israel’s disappearance, developing long range missiles, and enriching uranium to levels that bring it very close to nuclear breakout capability. Intelligence agencies have also confirmed past weaponization work.

When a state that openly threatens you moves toward nuclear threshold status while surrounding you with hostile forces, the security calculation changes. From Israel’s perspective this is not random aggression, it is prevention against a threat that could become irreversible.

You can disagree with the decision or the legality, but stripping out the nuclear program, the proxy warfare, and the rhetoric makes your argument incomplete. Context is not “mental gymnastics”, it is the actual chain of events

I already agreed with you - Israel bombing Iran was retaliation - no issues there. the US bombing Iran was an unprovoked attack. it you read back over what I said on this you will see I didnt have a problem with Israel striking at Iran. As you said - Iran did use proxies to attack Israel, therefore Israel responding was a legitimate defense.
